Mountains of Oman

Towering over Oman's north, the Hajar Mountains, nicknamed the "Oman Mountains," are a dramatic contrast to the country's vast deserts. Jagged peaks pierce the sky, reaching their pinnacle at Jebel Shams' 3,009 meters. This range, carved by millennia of wind and water, offers a treasure trove of adventure and breathtaking scenery. One gem within this crown is Wadi Taab, a verdant oasis that is one of the most popular Oman tourist spots. Lush date palms line its banks, fed by crystal-clear springs that cascade into turquoise pools. Time seems to slow here, inviting exploration of ancient forts, traditional villages, and hidden waterfalls. Set off from your stay at Sur Plaza Hotel and hike through fragrant groves, kayak through the canyon's heart, or simply relax under the shade of towering palms, mesmerized by the mountains' majesty. With its diverse landscapes and rich history, the Hajar Mountains, particularly Wadi Taab, are a must-visit for any traveller seeking an escape into Oman's natural wonders.
